Customer service, the way it’s done.

As you have read recently when it comes to marine trade we are not too friendly… but it’s not always the case, we have some nice surprises too. Today I picked up my Helly Hansen Jacket from repair. What did they do that deserve a post you may wonder?

Essentially, I have been treated [...]

Do you remember : Privilege 37?

An inquisitive mind is a healthy mind! Indeed , over the last year or so we have had many requests and questions wondering why we ended up walking away from the Privilege 37. Now, because this boat is sold and under new ownership, we feel much more comfortable giving you our reasons.

The Privilege [...]

Reality check or one’s perspective in life! Buying a fixer upper or a more modern in good condition boat

In the last few months, we feel we have achieved a few successes and solved a few problems in other words we are in a good learning curve. With *V* taking more courses, and finally my hands or more accurately the right tools along with a lot of hours researching the right products! Those elements [...]

Seattle boat show report and cruise RO water maker.

For late owls like us, it was a really early start of the day topped with only 4 hour sleep Sunday morning. Though very happily we met up *K* and *C* at the share ride parking lot en route to the Seattle boat show. At 9.45am we were at the entrance door, with a mini [...]

One step at a time, we climb the owner ladder.

We don’t quite realize it but we are now boat owners. Maybe the paralyzing aspect of the expenses don’t let our brains process the magnitude of the events, that took place in the last couple of months. But one step at a time we are making it our own.

So the final purchases at “Defender” [...]

Wine glasses are onboard, does it mean we are done…

The last few days have been fun, we emptied our home of all the items we have been collecting for the boat. From tools to cutlery everything is making its way onboard. Today I also got the dinghy legal by registering it. Tomorrow I will try to do the boat itself. We need to get [...]

4 days of total chaos!

Fortunately the planning of events helped, for those 2 weeks I was in California and Mexico. Everything went remarkably smooth, and thank you again K&C for coming and making the first part of the delivery such an easy process. Let’s not forget my wife for taking care of the business, and the children! *wink*

Although since [...]

5 day of haul out.

Today is a big day on two counts : If everything goes well we should be back in the water tonight and…. it’s my birthday. An exciting day for us indeed, and I just can’t wait to see everything come together.

Over the weekend, I tried to troubleshoot the original charger, unsuccessfully, so I asked the [...]

Fourth Day of Haul out.

Early start with the sun again this morning, I need to get going before it gets too hot.

Decided to attack big, with re-alignment of the rudders, the port side one is offset when the wheel and starboard one is straight. I have dreams of rudder falling to the ground or similar disaster. So [...]

Day 2 of the haul out.

After writing the post last night, I said “ok bedtime!”, my eyes were closing without me even feeling it. Having said that, do you remember that little sentence about the charger not working? Well I just can’t let that go (surprised). Thank you Ron for all those classes, you taught us good things and gave [...]
